Saying goodbye in a changing world

Suzanne Fields
SUZANNE FIELDS: September 6, 2019 Saying goodbye is never easy. Every school child quotes “Parting is such sweet sorrow” from “Romeo and Juliet,” which has become a sentimental cliche. But the sentiment captures the memories that sustain my final column. I am saying goodbye to all my readers who stayed with me through these changing times and wrote lively letters with both...
Summertime in the age of the selfie
Suzanne Fields 08/02/2019 - 5:45pm
TECHNOLOGY: August 2, 2019 “Summertime/ and the livin’ is easy.” George Gershwin’s haunting melody and DuBose Heyward’s tender lyrics once floated over the mood of summer, coaxing us all to reverie. But that was when vacationers lay on the beach under a lazy old sun, concentrating on important things, like grains of...
The political myth to capture our times
Suzanne Fields 07/12/2019 - 7:28pm
POLITICS: July 12, 2019 In the Age of Trump, a growth industry of commentators and critics is in search of a mythical image, a graphic insight, a metaphorical phrase to capture our fragmented politics and culture. “Make America Great Again” worked as a campaign slogan, but it’s about process, not essence. For self-glorification...

It’s a time for stretching and refreshing body and mind, for looking at things with a fresh focus. At least that’s how it used to be when friends and family...
Unrequited love among the genders
Suzanne Fields 06/28/2019 - 11:02am
TRANSGENDERS: June 28, 2019 Love is bustin’ out all over. It’s summer, and June is the favorite month of brides. Or it used to be. Nothing is what it used to be, including brides. Sex, if not necessarily love to die for, gets weirder and weirder. A nine-year-old boy named “Keegan” is a drag queen in Houston and regularly...
Crisis at super liberal Oberlin
Suzanne Fields 06/23/2019 - 6:07pm
OBERLIN: June 21, 2019 Identity politics is having an identity crisis. Parading as a noble cause to elevate only one side of the hyphenated American, identity politics has always cultivated a mean streak, a vulnerable underbelly of hatred for the “other” it indiscriminately blames for prejudice against African Americans, Native...
